Praise your Guru, and the good fortune already written for you comes alive.
The Arc
This shabad uses a shorter, three-beat line, and its anchor line sits in the opening unit. It calls the mind to praise the Guru, bringing a perfect destiny to life. The middle pauris name the Name as food for the soul, received through grace; enshrining the Guru's teaching lifts the inner darkness; loving the Guru's Word is a support here and always. The close praises the one who gladly moves with the flow of life as truly wise. The closing tally (||4||7||17||7||24||) marks the end of Guru Amar Das's Prabhaatee set.
